Backed by attractive Blackberry 8520 Curve deals and Blackberry Bold 9700 deals both the Blackberry smartphones are also able to sell like cheap Blackberry phones also.

Actually there can be no realistic comparison of the Blackberry 8520 Curve deals and the Blackberry Bold 9700. As the Curve smartphone handset is very much a second generation phone device while the Bold one is indeed one of the finest 3G network environment compatible smarty that you can ever hope to come across. All the same, it is pretty evident that RIM has seen to it that the Blackberry 8520 Curve does not suffer due to connectivity related problems. And this is realised on the handset as well. As otherwise, the Curve 8520 could not have been the run away success that it is in the mobile phone market place in the UK.

You can rest assured that the Blackberry 8520 Curve can carry out most data networking and other internet connectivity functions without much fuss. This way it is as good as any other 3G smartphoen including the Blackberry Bold 9700. After all, it has the Class 10 (4+1/3+2 slots), 32 – 48 kbps, HSCSD, EDGE, and bluetooth technology lending their ample support to it. The two mega pixel camera device and the very dynamic and versatile media player completes and picture. And makes the Blackberry 8520 Curve the hugely sought after Blackberry not just in the UK market place but all over the globe.

The Blackberry Bold 9700, is of course, the more strong and resourceful big brother. The 3G ability apart, the Bold 9700 has a slightly better equipped camera device that happens to be a good 3.15 mega pixel one. And again a better media player. Surprisingly, RIM has thought it fit to equip the Bold smartphone with a less wider touchscreen at 2.44 inches to the good 2.64 inches one that that the Blackberry 8520 Curve has got.

All this makes both the Blackberry smartphones, more or less similarly equipped with the Blackberry Bold 9700 edging forward ahead. But only slightly ahead.Even the various Blackberry Bold 9700 deals and the Blackberry 8520 Curve happen to offer the respective phone devices at by and large similar prices. But this only to be expected. As the network carriers have made it a point to sell only cheap Blackberry phones.
